“Yep, happy to make it look pretty. I do have to give a shout out to Delegate Archon. She was the one who sent me the video and said, here's what you guys need to do to make this look good. So yeah, but 4th of July, it was awesome. Shout out to all our town employees, police, public works. It was really hot, but I was surprised at how many people still did show up. I mean, everybody was huddling to the shaded areas. That's where everybody was hanging out, but it was a good day.”
